“This book teaches you how to: make wise choices in the design, planting, and maintenance of your residential space, regardless of its size or location; produce your own food; integrate vegetables, herbs, and fruits with locally native species and surrogates that contribute to the restoration of the local ecosystem; acquire a deeper understanding of the continuously evolving ‘livingscape’ that you can create for yourself, and of its relationship to the ecosystem that nourishes and sustains all life; use your space in the sun to manage health problems, earn supplemental income, and calm frazzled nerves”–Page 4 of cover.
